.SHORT TERM (TODAY) UPDATE...

TORNADO WATCH 446 WAS ISSUED FOR HARRISON AND NICHOLAS COUNTIES IN
OUR FAR NERN FA UNTIL 4 PM TODAY. ADDITIONAL SCT TSTM DEVELOPMENT
LIKELY LATER TODAY IN INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE AMS...ESPECIALLY ACRS
THE NRN HALF OF OUR FA...AS A COUPLE OF UPR LEVEL IMPULSES MOVE EWD
ACRS THE LOWER OH VLY. PRIMARY THREAT SHUD BE DAMAGING WINDS WITH
OUR VAD WIND PROFILE INDICATING A LOW LEVEL JET NEAR 50K.

OTHERWISE...A VERY WARM...HUMID DAY UNDERWAY WITH AFTERNOON
DEWPOINTS TO REMAIN IN THE MID/UPPER 60S AND TEMPS TOPPING OUT ARND
90.

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)...

CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM IS THE TODAY PERIOD AND WHAT KIND OF
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO EXPECT THIS MORNING THROUGH EARLY THIS
EVENING...AND HOW FAR SOUTH THAT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY MAY OCCUR.

THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY OVER CENTRAL INDIANA AND ILLINOIS TO BE A
SLIGHT THREAT THIS MORNING AND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON THOUGH AT THIS
STAGE...IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE BULK OF THIS WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE
CWA. ANY DEVELOPMENT THAT OCCURS TO THE WEST AND SOUTH THROUGH
MISSOURI FROM NOW THROUGH LATE THIS MORNING LOOKS TO BE THE BEST
SHOT FOR ANY THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CWA...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
NORTHERN ZONES.  HAVE CONTINUED CHANCE POPS AROUND AND NORTH OF I-64
WITH SLIGHT CHANCE TRENDING SOUTH FROM THERE.  SOME STORMS COULD BE
STRONG...WITH GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL THE BIGGEST THREATS. AN
ISOLATED SEVERE STORM COULD BE POSSIBLE ALONG AND NORTH OF THE OHIO
RIVER LATE THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON.  ALL THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
SHOULD WIND DOWN AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES THOUGH SHOWERS MAY
REMAIN THROUGH THIS EVENING.

A FEW IF THESE LINGERING SHOWERS MAY OCCUR ALONG AND NORTH OF THE
OHIO RIVER TONIGHT...BUT AFTER MIDNIGHT THESE SHOULD DISSIPATE OR
MOVE EAST WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES FILLING IN FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT SHOULD BE DRY WITH
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDING IN FROM THE SOUTHEAST...WITH
HIGHS IN THE 90S AND LOWS RIGHT AROUND OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE 70 DEGREES.

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...

A RELATIVELY BENIGN PERIOD APPEARING TO SET UP AS HIGH PRESSURE
DOMINATES THE SOUTHEAST QUARTER OF THE COUNTRY THROUGH THE PERIOD. A
SHORT WAVE DIGGING ACROSS THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE
GREAT LAKES FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY WILL BRING CLOUDS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO OUR NORTH AND WEST...BUT PULLS NORTH AS IT HEADS
EAST AND POPS GREATER THAN 20 WOULD ONLY CLIP OUR NORTHERN-MOST
INDIANA COUNTIES IF THAT.

ONCE THE ABOVE SHORT WAVE IS GONE SOUTHERLY FLOW PREVAILS.  WITH
LIMITED MOISTURE AND NO DYNAMICS...HOT AND HAZY BEST DESCRIBES THE
FORECAST.  THE GULF OPENS UP TO INCREASE SURFACE DEWPOINTS...BUT NOT
TO UNBEARABLE LEVELS...AS THEY SHOULD REMAIN IN THE 60S. SEVERAL
DAYS OF FLOW OFF THE GULF SHOULD PRIME THE AREA FOR CONVECTION THE
SECOND HALF OF NEXT WEEK...BUT BEYOND THE CURRENT FORECAST
TIMEFRAME.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE MOSTLY IN THE LOWER 90S THROUGHOUT THE
CWA...WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S.

&&

.AVIATION (12Z TAFS)...

LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS STRETCHING FROM CENTRAL INDIANA SOUTHWEST INTO
SOUTHWEST KENTUCKY TO WORK THROUGH THE AREA BEGINNING AROUND 12Z.
THIS LINE SHOULD GET TO SDF BY 13Z AND TO LEX BY 14Z. VARIABLE WINDS
TO 30 KTS AND IFR VISIBILITIES WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THESE STORMS AS
THEY MOVE ACROSS THE TERMINALS.  THE LINE TO COME NEAR BWG BUT NOT
AFFECT THE TERMINAL ITSELF WITH VIS OR CIG REDUCTIONS SO WILL COVER
WITH A VC. ONCE THIS LINE PASSES...SOME SCATTERED CONVECTION MAY
RESULT IN SDF AND LEX SEEING ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS WITH MVFR
POSSIBLE THROUGH 23Z.  OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
THROUGH THE PERIOD

BREEZY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL BE LIKELY FROM THE ONSET OF THE TAF
PERIOD TO AROUND 00Z THURSDAY...THOUGH GUSTS SHOULD GENERALLY
REMAIN AT OR BELOW 25KTS.
